Anyone femiliar with the knee pad that comes in the new 7's on the door panel? i saw one before and it looked like it would work on the other side for the us model, or if it doesnt i still want one to have one mimicked.

 

got any pictures ???

 

Not really a good picture because the bottom spoke of the steering wheel is in the way.

 

Here is a better shot, half way down ,in one of the small views

 

Yes, thanks, thats one but there is another one on the door panel too. ill try to find a pic. like i said if they dont fit i still want them so i can have some made as an exact opposite so it will fit my left hand drive us model.

 

yeah that's not the door panel version. The one pictured is an early option - I have it on my 93 type r.

if you go to the mazdaspeed site, they have a pic of the rx8 version (iirc) - that will give you a better idea.

 

Damn you guys, all the good stuff comes on your cars!
heres a pic of a spirit r with both.

 

anyone know???? i want them!

 

Is that thing just used to rest your knee on...

 

for that i guess, but mainly to help brace yourself during hard cornering.theres one on the door and the console as you see in the pics. it really enhances driver stability between those and the dead petal.

 

me, with us spec, left hand drive i really want the one for the door panel because thats where my dead petal is. but i want the other one too.

 

^This thread does certainly beg the question "why?" doesn't it?

But whatever floats your boat. Good luck in tracking one down!

 

why not!

i noticed this on the other forum, hope this helps

 

Have you tried a racing harness? Your stock seats already have the cutout to accomodate one, all you need is a harness bar.

-s-

 

could you run a 5 point harness daily with a 4 point rollcage and the harness bar? And i mean daily as in not using a regular seat belt,just the harness.

 

Yes i could but i guess its a j-spec thing too.i think it would be cool, you never see them.
